Members of the Malaysian Punjabi Licensed Moneylenders Association (MPLMA) are joining the thousands of individuals, companies and organisations in doing their little bit for the nation by donating to the Tabung Harapan Malaysia.
“In a discussion, we briefed the Deputy Minister of some of the efforts by MPLMA to improve state of the moneylending business. Though our name carries the word Punjabi, our organisation is open to members from all races and religion,” MPLMA President Palwinder Singh told Asia Samachar.
He added: “As an outfit that serves all communities and faiths, we are delighted to be part of the Tabung Harapan project.”
The Tabung Harapan Malaysia was established by Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad on May 30 to enable Malaysians to donate towards reducing the RM1.087 trillion national debt. Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng had previously said donations to fund would only be used to settle government debts.
